VANILLA CUPCAKES WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC/350°F. Grease and line a 12-hole muffin tray with cupcake liners.
• Sift all the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
• In a seperate bowl or jug, whisk the egg, milk, oil and vanilla extract and combine with the dry ingredients. Beat until the mixture is smooth.
• Slowly add the boiling water and mix until combined.
• Distribute the batter between the cupcake liners and place in the oven.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before decorating.
• To make the frosting, beat the butter until light and fluffy then add the icing sugar and beat until well incorporated. Add the cream and cocoa powder and beat well. Scrape the bowl with a spatula and beat until smooth. Slowly pour in the melted chocolate and beat until light and fluffy.
• Transfer the frosting to a piping bag and pipe onto the cooled cupcakes.

VANILLA AND CHOCOLATE CHIP CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat the oven to 375 F/190 C. Grease and flour cupcake tins or line them with paper liners.
• Using an electric mixer and a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and creamy.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Stir in the vanilla.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• While beating on low speed, add the flour mixture alternately with the milk to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, beating just until a smooth, thick batter forms. Do not overmix.
• Stir the chocolate into the batter now if you like, or add it after you have filled the cupcake liners.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake tin, filling a little more than half full.
• Bake the cupcakes until set and golden in color, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. The cupcakes are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for several minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.

VANILLA CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low; beat in half of the flour mixture, then all of the milk, then the remaining flour mixture until just combined.
• Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Transfer the pan to a rack and let cool 5 minutes, then remove the cupcakes to the rack to cool completely. Top with Frosting.
• Whisk the egg whites, sugar and salt in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) until the mixture is warm and the sugar dissolves. Remove the bowl from the pan; let cool slightly.
• Beat the egg white mixture in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or with a hand mixer) on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 12 to 15 minutes. Beat in the butter a few pieces at a time, then continue beating until smooth. (Don't worry if the mixture looks separated at first-it will come together as you keep beating.)

VERY VANILLA CHOCOLATE CHIP CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
• In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt.
• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together sugar and butter until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract. Alternately beat in flour mixture and milk, making three additions of flour mixture and two of milk, beating until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips.
• Scoop batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 23 to 28 minutes or until golden and tops of cupcakes spring back when lightly touched. Let cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely on rack.
• Top cooled cupcakes with favorite frosting.

SUPER MOIST CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Line a second pan with 2 liners - this recipe makes about 14 cupcakes. Set aside.
• Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla together until combined. Pour half of the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Then half of the buttermilk. Gently whisk for a few seconds. Repeat with the remaining wet ingredients and buttermilk. Stir until *just* combined; do not overmix. The batter will be thin.
• Pour or spoon the batter into the liners. Fill only halfway (this is imperative! only halfway!) to avoid spilling over the sides or sinking.
• Bake for 18-21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting. I usually let them cool in the pan.
• Frost cooled cupcakes however you'd like. I used chocolate buttercream and Wilton 1M piping tip for these pictured cupcakes. Top with sprinkles, if desired. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
